Strut10 Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 How long have you been hunting turkeys?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 I marked the 11-20 year range because thats the time frame that I really started getting serious about turkey hunting. Although I hunted with my dad and uncle at an earlier age...coulda really marked the 21 or more years box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PA_Spike_King Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 I'm with Snapper on this one. Then again I started hunting in 81 and wouldn't have known what a turkey was in my early years cuz I used to run through the woods in the fall till PA RIDGE RUNNER< my father taught me to slow down and try not to cover so much ground with my feet but with my eyes and things really started to happen.

NiteRunner Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 I started carrying a gun after these Ohio gobblers when I was 11yrs old, so this year marks my 9th year. I was going with my dad before that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PA_RIDGE_RUNNER Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 Fall turkeys since I was about 14. Spring turkeys about 8 years. Never got many fall turkeys but have near a dozen spring gobblers to my credit (in two states). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted March 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 Had to enter myself in the "geezer" category. Been hunting turkeys since 1979..........although I really beacame a major threat to them in about 1984. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullfan Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 how lomg Strut. Man I have got you.... My father started me in 1976. Back when there were not many turkeys or turkey huntrers here in Pa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkinslinger Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 Back when there were not many turkeys or turkey huntrers here in Pa. We had turkeys in our area but few hunters. I called my first bird in back in 1973 at 10 yoa with a homemade mouth call made by my Dad. It was a jake and it practically ran over us trying to get to the "hen"! I was hooked!

Ohiobucks Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 Killed my first bird the first year I hunted them, back in 1990. My buddy called that one in for me and I've been "hooked" ever since, no pun intended.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fly Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 21 years now, but there have been years in between that I didn't get the chance. Serious turkey hunting for only the past 10 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhine16 Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 This will be my 9th season. Started when i was 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Had to enter myself in the "geezer" category. I resemble that remark. If memory serves, I went on my first spring turkey hunt in 1974. Been doing most of my damage to the turkey population since the spring 1982 season though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckbuster11 Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 I was around 15 when I started getting into turkeys I think. Maybe a year younger. That puts me at 10 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamoGuy Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 That one will always be easy for me to remember. I started turkey hunting and took my first bird the spring after my first son was born in 1992. I started the spring 1993 so this spring will be 15 years.
